My mind is so blown that I had to reword that 5 times and I'm still not sure.

These guys are old with the average age of a WW2 vet being around 90. For most it would have been the first and only time for them to visit.

So you tell me how important it was for them to go and see the monuments?

Let's get this straight though, they did not 'storm the gates'. The people who arranged this and brought the veterans there simply moved barricades for them to enter. The park police stood back and did nothing other than give advisement that the park was closed.

Of course it all could have been avoided if Obama and the boys(both dems and repubs) would get their heads out of their arses.
